One hundred million credit union memberships is a significant milestone. It’s proof that Americans value the credit union difference. It reinforces that Americans want financial service alternatives that offer real choices and put them first. It’s time to celebrate—and time to leverage the opportunity.

Let’s do both at this year’s CUNA Governmental Affairs Conference.

CUNA GAC is the biggest week of the year for credit unions. More than 4,000 credit union people come together to:

Hear from influential legislators, policymakers and credit union experts on the political landscape and its effect on credit unions

Identify new strategies for building and maintaining America’s awareness and trust

Network with credit union leaders

Attend breakout sessions on the hottest issues in the movement

Tour the largest vendor showcase in the financial services industry

Tell Congress our story at Hike the Hill visits

Room Reservation Instructions

The following is the CUNA GAC Housing Website link and instructions on how to make your reservation in order to be included in the CT Room Block.

Enter your arrival and departure dates, and then enter your League Access Code: Yellow2015 in the space provided prior to clicking “Search.” (The password is specific to CT and is case sensitive. It is very important that you enter the access code Yellow2015 when making your hotel reservation(s). If you miss this field, you will get the complete list of hotels CUNA uses for the GAC and not the Connecticut block of rooms.)

Your league hotel should be the only option available

Continue with adding in the reservation

A password needs to be created by the individual for each reservation. This process is in place to secure the credit card information being entered into the housing system.

Continue to enter in the payment information and finish up the reservation

Due Date for League Reservations

All league housing needs to be entered into the housing system by February 11, 2015.

Assistance

If you need to call in for assistance, please call the general housing number (800.974.3084). You must indicate to the agent you are trying to book a reservation into a league sub block.

Payments

Credit unions entering their own reservation into the housing system will be prompted to put in their credit card information into the system to secure their reservation. A $275 deposit is required for each reservation. Cancellations can be made through January 12, 2015 for a full refund. Starting on January 13th, the deposit is non-refundable for cancellations. The system will only allow a reservation to be booked with a credit card.

If you have any questions regarding this process, please feel free to contact Kelly.
